Saving an ionic 1 project as ionic 2

Does saving an ionic 1 project as ionic 2 bring any advantages?
Or should we keep it as ionic 1 and upload the app store as such?

Thank you

What does that mean?

Ionic v1 and Ionic 2+ are completely different. There is no real code reuse possible between the two.

Sorry if this was a bad question.

I thought it would be OK to get a blank template for ionic 2 and then replace the contents of its 'www` folder (of an ionic 1 project) would work.

I guess not.

That would make no difference at all for the build.

Everything with cordova in the command you execute (that e.g. copies over www to the platforms etc) is identical for all Ionic versions.
